Can't let it go to the sixth page without a mention of Lester.

If we'll allow a broadish  definition of "sportsman", Vincent O'Brien challenges to rank as the greatest of all time, based on achievement and dominance of his sport on a worldwide basis. Certainly the leading Irishman by a country furlong.

Joey Barton

No way should Muhammid Ali be on this list. Hes a ****. He bit the hand that fed him. Without Joe Frazier he was a nobody. Frazier helped him out with money, somewhere to live, even got him his pro boxing licence back. and what did Ali do? call him al lthe names of the day Uncle Tom etc etc..taunting him..Muhammid Ali is a sc**bag. I like everyone else thought he was a legend just having seen him box, showmanship and all, but then i saw the documentary on the two of them, completely changed my mind. hes a ****.

I dont know how anyone likes him either, apart from all that, he's racist too.

White men are the devil and all that

You have little to be doing, there are far too many touts on this site.

God forbid a mod read the site and decide for himself.

  if only you knew stew!

I have started posting simply saying "Reported" since the big "tout" debate!

I would not, and never have, reported anyone!

Each to their own!

[Sandino]

Personal opinion I know but George Best should be nowhere near this list.

lance armstrong?

We all know how Lance became ahem .. "the greatest"

Cycling is an absolute rubbish sport, more cheating here than God knows what.

Lazy comment that, he is innocent until proven guilty, he was never caught and so he is clean, prove him otherwise.

As for me I would have to say Lance Armstrong.
